🛒 Online Platforms for Second-Hand Shopping in Thailand

Bangkok’s second-hand shopping scene isn’t limited to markets and vintage boutiques — digital platforms now play a major role in connecting buyers and sellers across the country. Whether you’re decluttering, moving apartments, or simply hunting for a deal, these platforms offer convenient and increasingly safer ways to engage in circular shopping.

Kaidee

Kaidee is Thailand’s most popular general classifieds platform, with millions of listings ranging from used vehicles and electronics to home goods, fashion, and real estate. You can search by location, category, or keyword, and the platform supports Thai and English. Most listings are from individuals, but many small businesses also use it for bulk or resale items. Chat and phone options are built into the platform, though you’ll need to coordinate delivery or pickup directly with the seller.

Yours

Yours is a newer second-hand platform in Thailand that sets itself apart from traditional resale apps by prioritizing safety, transparency, and user trust. Designed for individuals who want a more streamlined and secure way to buy or sell pre-loved items, Yours offers verified accounts, secure payment processing, and door-to-door delivery, eliminating many of the hassles and uncertainties often associated with peer-to-peer resale.

Whether you’re decluttering your home, relocating, or simply looking for a good deal, Yours provides a more structured and private alternative to public Facebook groups or informal marketplaces. Listings range from fashion and furniture to appliances, electronics, and lifestyle items — all posted by real users and often accompanied by clear photos and descriptions.

Built around a community-first ethos, Yours encourages responsible consumption and aims to support a circular economy in Thailand. Its mission-driven approach, combined with thoughtful user design and practical safeguards, makes it an increasingly popular choice among urban Thais and expats who value convenience, privacy, and peace of mind when participating in second-hand commerce.

Facebook Marketplace

A go-to platform for casual buying and selling, Facebook Marketplace is widely used throughout Thailand for second-hand furniture, clothing, electronics, and more. It’s ideal for finding local deals or arranging same-day pickups. However, since it’s lightly moderated and transactions happen directly between users, be cautious with payment and personal safety. Many sellers only respond in Thai, so using Google Translate can help bridge the gap.

Other Thai Platforms to Explore

• BaanFinder and LivingInsider – real estate-specific (“baan” means house in Thai), with second-hand furniture sections
• PantipMarket.com – a more traditional classifieds website that includes Bangkok-area listings for used goods, though the interface is quite dated and only in Thai
• Shopee & Lazada – occasionally offer second-hand or refurbished items under their certified reseller programs — especially electronics

💡 Insider tip: Always meet in public places if you’re buying or selling in person, or use platforms like Yours with built-in protections for safer transactions.

🛍️ Top Second-Hand Markets in Bangkok

Chatuchak Weekend Market (JJ Market) – ตลาดนัดจตุจักร

Widely considered one of the world’s largest markets, Chatuchak boasts over 15,000 stalls spread across dozens of sections. It’s a must-visit for any serious shopper or Bangkok explorer. We cover the market in much more detail over in our Bangkok travel guide, where you’ll find insider tips and navigation help.

If you’re hunting for vintage and second-hand fashion, head straight to sections 2–6 and 22–26, where you’ll find curated retro styles, pre-loved clothing, and accessories from all over Thailand and beyond.

Pattavikorn Market New Project – ตลาดปัฐวิกรณ์ โครงการใหม่

Located off Ratchada – Ramintra Road just after Nawamin Soi 72/1, Pattavikorn Market New Project is one of the largest and most rewarding second-hand markets in Bangkok. Stretching approximately 400 meters from right after the entrance of the Narasiri gated community to KFC and JC Mall, this sprawling outdoor market is a true paradise for vintage hunters, bulk buyers, and fashion lovers.

The market is split across both sides of a Caltex petrol station. Although a sidewalk crossing connects the two zones, be prepared to walk a little. Parking is limited (THB 30 for cars, THB 10 for motorbikes), so using taxi or public transport is a smart option: take the MRT Pink Line to Ram Inthra KM 9 Station, then board bus 1–39 EV/REG (71) in front of Synphaet Hospital. Get off at Banjamin School and walk three minutes to reach the market.

What you’ll find here is nothing short of overwhelming: massive racks and towering piles of pre-loved clothing for men, women, and kids. There’s something for every budget:

• THB 5–25 for pile rummage items
• THB 60-80 for curated higher-quality pieces
• 3–4 items for THB 100 racks
• Surprise bags: 5kg of clothes for just THB 100

You’ll also find shops selling clothes by the kilo, which is ideal for resellers or serious thrifters. Styles include jeans, vintage jackets, sportswear, trousers, dresses, t-shirts, swimwear, and so much more. Accessories abound: sunglasses, belts, handbags, leather wallets, costume jewelry, and even vintage electronics like old amplifiers and speakers. There’s also an interesting offer of art and collectibles: statues, framed Thai, Chinese, and Japanese prints, movie posters, decorative items, and small household knickknacks.

Basic toilet facilities are available (THB 5–10), with cleaner ones in the newer sections. While the market is mostly covered and equipped with large fans, it can still get very hot and humid. For a cooldown, head to JC Mall next door for air conditioning, 7-Eleven and other shops and restaurants.

Food is everywhere, with multiple food court-style areas offering fully cooked meals, seasonal fruits like durian, fresh coconut shakes, Thai snacks, grilled meats, iced coffee, and desserts. It’s easy to spend several hours (or even a full day) here.

🧾 Insider Tips

• Visit on a weekday like Tuesday for a more relaxed, less crowded experience — especially if it’s rainy (with cooler temperatures).
• Saturday and Sunday are the busiest and liveliest, with more sellers and merchandise.
• Bring small bills for purchases, though a lot of vendors accept QR code payments.
• Prices are clearly marked, but look out for signs that say “หลายราคา” (multiple prices): you’ll need to ask or haggle.
• Don’t miss the bulk sections and kilo-priced clothing for serious deals.

Whether you’re a casual shopper or a vintage reseller, Pattavikorn Market is an absolute must-visit destination that delivers both value and atmosphere. With your camera in hand, it’s also a fantastic spot for capturing Bangkok’s thrift culture in its raw, colorful form.

Mixt Chatuchak – มิกซ์ จตุจักร

Located just a short walk from the main Chatuchak Weekend Market, Mixt Chatuchak is a multi-story indoor shopping complex that offers a more modern and air-conditioned experience. While it may not have the chaotic charm of the outdoor market, it’s a great place to cool off and explore curated selections of retro fashion, vintage-inspired apparel, handmade accessories, and home décor items.

You’ll also find boutique shops selling Thai-designed clothing, small art pieces, and unique gifts that make for excellent souvenirs.

It’s especially convenient for shoppers who want to escape the heat or visit the area on weekdays when the main market is closed. Food stalls, cafes, and clean restrooms add to its appeal as a comfortable alternative to the more rugged outdoor markets nearby.

Bang Sue Junction – บางซื่อจังชั่น

Tucked away near the northern edge of Chatuchak Park, Bang Sue Junction is a lesser-known multi-story indoor market that caters to lovers of vintage fashion, retro collectibles, and quirky home décor. Spread over several compact floors, the market houses dozens of small, independently run shops offering everything from pre-loved clothing and retro sneakers to classic movie posters, vinyl records, and second-hand furniture.

It’s a great spot to dig for nostalgic gems without the overwhelming crowds of larger markets. The atmosphere is more relaxed than nearby Chatuchak, and many shopkeepers are happy to chat about their collections or offer discounts for bulk purchases.

While not as polished as Mixt Chatuchak, Bang Sue Junction has a distinctly local feel—perfect for those who enjoy the thrill of the hunt and want to support small, specialized vendors.

It’s especially worth a visit if you’re already exploring the Chatuchak area and want to extend your vintage shopping experience in a quieter, more offbeat setting.

Shinjuku Outlet – ชินจูกุ เอาท์เล็ท

One of Thailand’s most well-known Japanese-style second-hand clothing chains, Shinjuku Outlet has rapidly grown into a multi-branch chain across Bangkok and provincial hubs. As of July 2025, there are at least 11 active branches in the Bangkok Metropolitan Area, including in Lat Phrao, Bang Kapi, Ram Inthra, Srinakarin, and Nonthaburi. These outlets cater to shoppers looking for deeply discounted, pre-loved clothing, much of it imported from Japan or South Korea.

What makes Shinjuku Outlet stand out isn’t just the low prices — deals like 3 items for ฿100 are common — but the consistently curated selection of cold-weather clothing, including jackets, coats, and sweaters, as well as unexpected finds like dinner jackets and suits. While Pattavikorn Market may offer even cheaper bulk deals and massive dig-through piles, Shinjuku provides a more streamlined and organized shopping experience, especially for those looking to quickly browse racks and score wearable pieces with a Japanese or Korean aesthetic.

Most branches feature long rows of loosely sorted clothing, often divided by type (e.g. shirts, pants, skirts), though not always by size or brand. You’ll also find larger-size bins and discount corners with pieces as low as ฿10–฿20.

The majority of inventory is women’s fashion, including blouses, casualwear, skirts, jackets, and accessories, but there’s also a growing men’s section with jeans, dress shirts, and sportswear, depending on the branch. Clothing turnover is frequent, so regular visits can yield new finds. While the setup is no-frills — no changing rooms, minimal service — the thrill is in the bargain hunting. It’s common to see fashion students, resellers, or budget-conscious shoppers filling up plastic baskets with dozens of items.

Shinjuku Outlet is ideal for those who don’t mind digging through racks and bins in exchange for scoring hidden gems at ultra-low prices. Many locations are near BTS or MRT stations or within local community malls, making them easily accessible. Note that payment is often cash only, and sales are final with no returns — so inspect items carefully before purchase.

Charoen Rat Road – ถนนเจริญรัถ

A hidden gem for leather lovers, Charoen Rat Road in the Khlong San district has long been known as Bangkok’s unofficial leather street. Lining this relatively quiet road are numerous small workshops and boutiques offering handmade leather goods of impressive quality — think belts, bags, boots, wallets, and jackets. Many items are handcrafted on-site by skilled artisans, and the selection includes both new leather pieces and vintage finds, often at prices far below what you’d pay in malls or tourist markets.

This area is ideal if you’re looking for durable, stylish pieces with a more rugged or classic aesthetic. Some vendors also accept custom orders, allowing you to choose leather types, colors, and designs. The overall vibe is local and low-pressure, and you can often peek inside the workshops to see craftspeople at work. It’s just a short ride from ICONSIAM or Wongwian Yai BTS station.

Bobae Market – ตลาดโบ๊เบ๊

Bobae Market is one of Bangkok’s largest and oldest wholesale clothing markets, catering mostly to local retailers and bulk buyers. While its reputation is built on new, low-cost fashion, savvy shoppers can also uncover second-hand and overstock clothing from Thai and international brands — often at deeply discounted prices. Some vendors specialize in leftover inventory, factory seconds, or gently used garments, making it a great place for bargain hunters willing to dig a little.

Spread across both outdoor stalls and indoor buildings (including Bobae Tower), the market is busiest in the early morning when professional buyers arrive, but casual visitors are welcome throughout the day. Expect to find t-shirts, pants, jackets, kids’ clothing, uniforms, and accessories, with bulk pricing but no minimum purchase required at many stalls.

If you’re shopping for multiple items or looking to resell, this is one of the best places to stretch your baht.
